Plot: Red announces that the 2nd Annual Chainsaw Races would be taking place this weekend, but then, Harold comes in and tell him to meet the bus for the Intellectually Gifted Children's Club since they've booked the entire lodge for the weekend. Harold also tells him that programs have been planned for the children, such as vegetable cloning, Lord Hammer action figure-painting classes and a chance to dress up as their favorite Star Trek alien character. Red then tells Harold that Harold would've been more prouder if he brought the children to the Chainsaw Races, but Harold declines, claiming that people are very intelligent and have low pain thresholds, but Red then says that the spectators would be safe since they would be held up in the dry riverbed at Rock Reef Point and that there would be no chance that anyone would get hurt. Later, Red practices for the Races, but takes out the lodge's entrance door. Harold them tells him that he would no longer be the promotion manager of the Possum Lake area if Red continued holding chainsaw races. Just then, Thornton enters the lodge and Red tells him that the vegetable cloning worked. But then, after the Races, Harold and Thornton enter with most of their pants all torn up in perfect strips, prompting Red to permanently cancel the Chainsaw Races.
